shows an estimated output percentage of the
vehicle’s charging system connected to the
charger’s battery clamps, compared to a properly
functioning system. The alternator percent range
is from 0% to 100%. Readings below 0%
(13.2 V) will read LO and readings above 100%
(14.6 V) will read HI. If you get a HI or LO reading,
have the electrical system checked by a qualified
technician.
Voltage – The Digital Display shows the voltage
at the charger battery clamps, in DC volts.
RATE SELECTION BUTTON
Use this button to select one of the following:
6 A Charge – For charging small and large
batteries. Not recommended for industrial
applications.
40 A<>15 A Boost Charge – For quickly
adding energy to a severely discharged or

KNOW YOUR CHARGER
BATTERY TYPE BUTTON
This selects the type of battery to charge.
Normal (Standard) – Type of battery used
in cars, trucks and motorcycles; also refers
to most deep-cycle batteries used in boats
and RVs. This is a flooded cell battery, which
uses liquid battery acid to cover the internal
plates. These batteries can, but not always,
have vent caps.
AGM – The Absorbed Glass Mat construction
allows the electrolyte to be suspended
in close proximity with the plate’s active
material. In theory, this enhances both the
discharge and recharge efficiency. The AGM
batteries are a variant of Sealed VRLA (valve
regulated lead-acid) batteries. Popular uses
include high-performance engine starting,
power sports, deep-cycle, solar and storage
batteries.
Gel – The electrolyte in a GEL cell has a
silica additive that causes it to set up or
stiffen. The recharge voltages on this type of
cell are lower than those for other styles of
lead-acid battery. This is probably the most
sensitive cell in terms of adverse reactions to
overvoltage charging. Gel batteries are best
used in VERY DEEP cycle application and may
last a bit longer in hot weather applications.
If the wrong battery charger is used on a gel
cell battery, poor performance and premature
failure will result.

ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally,
charging will abort. When charging aborts, the
charger’s output is shut off and the Red LED will
blink. The digital display will show an error code
(see Troubleshooting for a description of the error
codes). To reset after an aborted charge, unplug
the charger from the AC outlet, wait a few minutes
and then plug it back in.
DESULFATION MODE
If the battery is left discharged for an extended
period of time, it could become sulfated and not
accept a normal charge. If the charger detects
a sulfated battery, the charger will switch to a
special mode of operation designed for such
batteries, and the display will show SUL. If
successful, normal charging will resume after the
battery is desulfated. Desulfation could take up to
10 hours. After 10 minutes in desulfation, the red
LED will blink. After 10 hours, if desulfation fails,
charging will abort, the display will show F02, and
the red LED will remain blinking.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by the Charged/
Maintaining (green) LED. When lit, the charger has
switched to the maintain mode of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE
(FLOAT MODE MONITORING)
When the Charged/Maintaining (green) LED is lit,
the charger has started maintain mode. In this
mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged
by delivering a charge current when necessary. If
the charger has to provide an excessive maintain
current for a continuous 12 hour period, it will
go into abort mode (see Aborted Charge section).
This is usually caused by a drain on the battery or
the battery could be bad.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
This product charges and maintains both 6V and
12 V batteries. The maintain mode technology
allows you to safely charge and maintain a healthy
battery for extended periods of time. However,
problems with the battery, electrical problems
in the vehicle, improper connections or other
unanticipated conditions could cause excessive
current draws. As such, occasionally monitoring
your battery and the charging process is required.

tripped and needs a little longer to
close. Make sure the charger vents
are not blocked. Wait and try again.
On a severely discharged battery,
use the Boost Charge setting for few
minutes, to help assist in cranking.
I cannot select a 6 V or
12 V setting.
The charger is equipped with Auto Voltage
Detection, which automatically detects
the voltage and charges the battery.
No problem; this is normal.
